After driving away the superpower users and ancient martial artists, the recruitment at the Academician Workstation finally returned to normal. The required talents reported for work one after another, and research activities continued in an orderly manner. Fang Jueyu was finally able to focus all his energy on the admissions process.
"Where has Er Gouzi been these past two days?" Fang Jueyu had just woken up one morning, and Guo Xinyu had already prepared breakfast for him.
Besides elixirs, Er Gouzi's favorite was anything made by Guo Xinyu. Though Er Gouzi was lazy and wild, typically wandering all day and sleeping in its doghouse at home, it would always come running at the smell of her cooking.
Guo Xinyu hadn't seen Er Gouzi for almost a week, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Oh, I had it do something for me. It should be back in a couple of days," Fang Jueyu said, sipping his hot milk.
"Woof woof woof!" At that moment, a clear bark came from outside the door. Er Gouzi was sprinting over, its short legs moving at lightning speed. It was a bit dirty but looked energetic.
"Woof woof woof!" Er Gouzi looked at Guo Xinyu expectantly, wagging its tail.
"Alright, already got it ready for you!" Preparing food for Er Gouzi had become a habit for Guo Xinyu.
"Wait, tell me first how that task I gave you is going?" Fang Jueyu snatched Er Gouzi's food bowl away.
"Woof!" Er Gouzi nodded toward the TV, seeming to indicate that it wanted Fang Jueyu to watch the television.
Fang Jueyu turned his gaze to the TV, where the news was on.
"Dog owners across the country have reported that domesticated and stray dogs have been acting extremely odd lately. They typically stay active in their living areas, active during the day and resting at night like humans. But for the past week, many domesticated dogs have gone missing at night, only returning the next day."
"Really strange, do you think Er Gouzi also picked up this habit?" Guo Xinyu looked at Er Gouzi in bewilderment. Normally, this was just the time when Er Gouzi would be waking up.
"Interestingly, someone accidentally captured this incredibly bizarre footage at night!" The news content suddenly switched to a shaky video filled with static.
Though the video was blurry, you could clearly see thousands of dogs seemingly organized and orderly migrating in a massive formation toward a certain direction, reminiscent of the migrations of wildlife in documentaries.
Interestingly, these included both dogs with collars and tags and stray dogs, but their movements were extremely secretive and very quiet, not a single bark heard, traveling along rarely-trodden paths as if heading to some gathering.
Unfortunately, the cameraman seemed exhausted at the end and did not uncover the ultimate secret.
"Similar phenomena have appeared in various cities, clearly indicating there's more to it. Let's hear what animal experts have to say."
"We believe this behavior could very well be a precursor to some kind of natural disaster..."
"Great job, Er Gouzi!" Fang Jueyu patted Er Gouzi's head and returned its bowl.
"Woof!" Er Gouzi barked proudly and immediately started devouring its meal.
"Is all this Er Gouzi's doing?" Guo Xinyu looked at Er Gouzi in disbelief. "What has it been up to the past few days?"
"I had it unify all the dogs in Huaxia. Now Er Gouzi is the king of all the dogs in the country!"
Guo Xinyu was full of questions. The combined number of domesticated and stray dogs in Huaxia must be over 200 million. This task wasn't any easier than unifying a dynasty; how did Er Gouzi achieve it in just one week?
She knew Er Gouzi wasn't an ordinary dog, so it wasn't an unfathomable feat, but what exactly was Fang Jueyu's goal? Why did he need so many dogs?
"What are you planning to do? Take over the national pet dog industry?" Guo Xinyu couldn't think of any reason.
"Haha, let me show you this." Fang Jueyu handed her an envelope.
Guo Xinyu took the envelope, which was black and had a golden symbol printed on it, one she recognized as both the crest of the Super God Academy and the emblem of Fang Jueyu's family.
Besides the academy crest, there was a prominent inscription, "Super God Academy!"
She opened the envelope to find a letter inside:
Dear Student XXX, Congratulations on being admitted as a first-year student at the Super God Academy. Please report to school with this admission letter on February 20, 2021. The location is Antian Peak in Jiangnan City. This admission does not affect your regular student status. Please do not disclose this matter to anyone, or your admission will be canceled, and your memory of it erased.
Here, you can learn anything you want to learn. Remember, anything! This is your chance to change your destiny, so take it seriously.
Dean of the Super God Academy, Fang Jueyu
"Are you planning a mass enrollment?" Guo Xinyu was most surprised.
"Yes, my goal is to enroll 100,000 students within two years. I can't do it alone, so I've come up with another approach."
"Uh..." Guo Xinyu was at a loss for words, using dogs to deliver admission letters, was this even a human idea?
"But what are your admission criteria? You can't just accept anyone?"
"Of course, but now it's the era of big data. With enough access, you can know everything without leaving your home!"
Fang Jueyu had conducted a data survey of everyone in Huaxia under 25 through Xiao Yi, filtering out a group suitable for admission into the Super God Academy. These candidates may vary in talent and ability, but their character was almost universally vetted.
As for every admission letter, it wasn't made of earthly pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Fang Jueyu bought it from the Space-Time Store, resistant to ordinary methods of destruction. What's more mysterious is that only the first person to open the envelope can see its contents.
Fang Jueyu had Potter, a teacher at the academy, cast a spell on them. Don't say it's not scientific; theology, magic, are just extensions of science having reached a certain level.
Fang Jueyu had purchased all land around Antian Peak, and had spent tens of millions of cosmic currency to buy a giant concealment device from extraterrestrial civilizations. Henceforth, only people from the Super God Academy could enter.
Essentially, unless the Super God Academy exposed itself, no one would discover its secret!
"This is practically the Eastern Hogwarts." Guo Xinyu was thoroughly impressed, Fang Jueyu's idea was indeed extraordinary, as if bringing a fictional world to life.
"I got the inspiration from there!" Fang Jueyu had compiled all the student information and addresses. Potter had been working overtime charging them with magic. At the latest, these admission letters would be sent out in three days!
